First flew as G-BBWG in 1976 before delivery to CAAC as B-269 in 1978. To the Chinese Air Force/China United Airlines as 50055 in 1981. Made last Trident flight ever from Xijiao to Shahe in 1997 and towed to the China Aviation Museum. Remains of the China United Airlines emblem can be seen on the tail. It was repainted into Chinese Air Force colours by 2010.
